A NOTED LOCALITY.
A Citizen Converses About the New Building
That Occupies the Site of the Old
Bank Saloon.

There said an old citizen. pointing from the
News Office across the way to No. % West
Washington street, now covered by u beautiful
modern brick building, sis one Of the most noted
localities in Indianapolis, or in the State.
'For many. many years it was occupied by a
two-story frame building which, by the way was
the last of the old-rime houses to be taken away
from our great business thoroughfare. Over
thirty years ago it was known as the Bank sa-
loon, and its proprietor, Roderick Beebe, was a
noted character. He always dressed in broad
cloth, and looked more like banker, q retired
merchant, or sedats and learned lawyer than
a vender of the ardent Judge Perkius's deci-
sion in the Bsebe case was one of the features
of the discovery that the prohibitory liquor law
of 1854 was illegal.
Welsh. who is said to have made no less than
$125 900 in the rickety old frame Welsh's sa-
loon was favorite resort for printers for Lwen-
ty years or more During most of that time
Welsh's bartender was q man named John
Shaughnessy, q gentleman in department and
perfect total abstainer Gen. Neal Dow or
Col. Eli Ritter. The new building was put up
two years or so ago by DIR. John T. Burford. 1t
was occupied for a short time by j. n Mayhem,
the jeweler, and next by the famous Sim Coy,
who opened a fine saloon there.
Mr.. Coy fitted the place up regardless of ex-
pense as the walls and ceilings show, and
when he moved out short time ago Mr.. P. j.
kelleher. the leading halter, took the place. 1t
is a beautiful room for the purpose for which
Mr.. kelleher uses that's and gentlemen's
furnishings. | have seen hat establishments in
all the large cities in the country, and there are
none anywhere to excel it."
Mr.. Kelleher has a lease this noted point
the very center Of business-for five years. and
is to be congratulated on his success in having
secured this beautiful place.

Demand for Domestic Service.

The last census showed that there were
GSS. .9l0 women employed in domestic service
in the United States But this does not mean
that in lSSa there was a demand for only 95S,-
80 women in such employment. On the
contrary. at the high wages now current tand
these wages, ii must be remeinb. red-making
allowance Cor board and lodging-are higher
than those received by tens of thousands OF
female school teachers, copyists, tyrewriters,
ETC. there is a large unsatiS;iet demand. Be
sides, If greater competition were to reduce
pay Of skilled female labor the present de
mand for domestic service would be vastly i'll
creased If "hired help" could be hired for
half what it now costs and at that rate II
would he well remunerated i'll comparison
with other employmentsr, host Of families,
especially in the country, would keep servants
who now feel il impossible 50 TO do.
There is not particle of doubt that at the
ruling rates tens OF thousands Of wome:. can
easily find places. There is as little doubt that
at smaller but still good wages the number Of
women who could secure good employment in
the kitchen under comfortable conditions ex-
ceeds the whole number of workingwomen in
New York, whose misery Is periodically set
forth by the newspapers. In other words,
this misery might practically he ended by the
victims themselves if they would only give up
trying to make living at dying rates in over
crowded industries, and enter a field where
they are sure of steady work at good pay

Horse bread is still commonly made in
Sweden. 1t is still commonly made and
used in Tyrol, and in certain parts OF
Switzerland-the Engadine, for instance.
Your driver stops at a roadside inn, and,
before he buys anything for himself, he
buys for his horse a large cake of brown
oat bread, circular, flattish, the size and
shape of a Yorkshire yule cake. The
strong, quiet, steady horse-or mare very
likely-knows well what all this means
looks on with eager eyes as he slices the
cake into strips; munches slice after slice
with keen enjoyment; and finally, per
haps, lays its lips upon his palm to sug,
gest the possibility of another loaf. Some
drivers, indeed, themselves desirous of a
meal, are content TO crumble the bread
into trough, and in that case the horse
will not only eat all the large pieces, but
will with teeth and tongue take up every
morsel and crumb that strews the floor
of the trough. Such are his views as 10
the merits Of oaten bread.-Notes and
Queries
